My experience with Morrison's have been good bad and down right awful,started working for Morrison in a Coventry store on 11hour contract at age 16 on the trolley worked over the weekend whilst at collaga.
Got moved instore after a year still on 11hours same days.The previous store manager of this store was a very rude impation man who Morrison evenly hand the fore sight to get rid of.

Some of the supervisor or teamleader as they are know called are quiet simply bullys which I have been at the resving end of and have seen other staff target in the exact same way.

Reasonly started working at a knew store (5years olds) in Sheldon after personally landing full time after personally speaking to the store manager,anyone seeking full-time contracts avoid the useless personnel and people's managers as they will only waste your time,worked on produce and really enjoyed the job my team leader was a very nice lady who always had time to listen and motivate the team, however the store was massively under staffed on the week end as a result I was on and the checkouts every 20secons as were my co workers.sadly again one or two of the team leaders were bulling and and berlindling staff again to the point reatalyion.when customers step over the line of reaspecting staff by being verbally adusive they are not dealt with by being band from the store. Instead they are allowed to file a formal letter of complate you will be told of displined severely for making an error which makes some customers act erationaly it always your fault not the customer.

I finally leaved this backward company as they caused me to have a on the job break down lots of people have leaved or been forced out the door and it doesn't supprice me one bit.no work there it a ghost town and they are shooting them self in the foot by getting rid of good employees.

Do not even think about getting a job at Morrisons Distribution warehouse. It is a terrible place to work. The management are bullies, controlling and rude. The training you  receive is poor inadequate and rushed. The equipment you use is dated, old and not fit for the purpose. Nothing works properly and pieces of equipment are either broke or missing. Rest days are cancelled at short notice. Compulsory overtime happens at least twice a week even if you have a medical appointment you still have to stay. You get one 30 minute break in a nine hour shift. This is not sufficient as the job is very physically demanding and strenuous. The place has a massive turn over of staff which should of set the alarm bells ringing. The place is obsessed with a thing called downtime where as they should be obsessed with keeping staff. People are leaving on a daily basis. Do not even think about getting a job here. I have highlighted only a few issues but there are a lot more.

The people I worked with were friendly and supportive. They helped me learn and it was a team effort to do our best. However, my store was chronically understaffed and my department was no different. The staff were stretched and rarely would be able to help other departments. Management are unwilling to hire more staff and are strict about overtime/clocking in and out.
During busy periods, we would be lucky to have enough time to get our breaks. Managers weren't great at organising enough staff to be on during periods or for extra support during these times. Shifts were easily changed if need be.

Customers are mostly amicable. Some are patient and kind. Especially, the regulars have a fond place in my heart and were genuinely sad to see me go. Others came in looking for complaints.

The pay is good. £9.60 on probation, which goes up to £10 something after six months. 

tl;dr: Pay, colleagues, are good. Managers aren't great especially at helping out and communicating.

Managers talk to staff like they're something they stepped in, they don't ever listen to staff, the shifts are always changed, with little to no notice, you're expected to start as early as 5am, and finish as late as 12am, the managers are all lazy and walk around the store doing absolutely nothing, and the targets they set are just completely unreasonable. The shifts are supposed to be "family-friendly" and "somewhat negotiable", but that's nothing but lies. Personnel are useless too, there's never anybody in the office to speak to about problems, and any time there is anyone in there, they don't care enough to help out with problems. They don't know what they're doing. Cancelling annual leave without informing staff, changing shifts without notice, and never listening to any problems.

Morrisons have lack or empathy to support their temporary Agency workers. 
They will let you go as soon as demand is low. Management is poor, there is no clear system or procedures to follow or work with. As a temporary (lowest wage Possible) you're not entitled to any staff benefits even if you have been there for over a year. The workload is enormous compared to what you're paid and you're required to meet targets which make no sense and arent even based on customer satisfaction but based on how many calls and emails you close a day. 
Theres no flexibility or options to help you if you are a single mum juggling through life with an asthmatic Child who is CONSTANTLY sick. They actually threaten to get rid of you if you have no friends or family to look after your child when its sick. 
It's a poor experience and a disappointment. 



Running a typical shift would include making sure all colleagues have a job to do, and they understand what they need to achieve by the end of there shift, taking and putting out delivery, dealing with customers, office work, cash office, opening and closing the shop. 

I love working within my team as we can always have a laugh whilst working to the best of our ability's and getting the job done. 

I have been able to progress here and I have learnt so much I wouldn't be who I am today without the support and help from everyone I have worked with. 

The hardest parts could be when issues occur for an example a power cut meaning all fridges and freezers were down which therefore meant thousands of pounds worth of stock was at risk.  It was a challenge on learning what to do and how to do the right thing to prevent this happening. 

The best part is being able to have a great atmosphere at work and being able to all be like a family.

A friendly atmosphere to work in friendly staff to work with have the holidays you require if you have children. You are trained by management and other staff on each department and are trained individually on the department of the store you wish to work on which is how it should be. Over-all a good company to work for. The hardest part of the job is making sure you give the correct change at the end of the sale. The management team are helpful and will look after you if you have any problems work-wise. You will learn a lot of communication skills between staff and customers which is very important. The most enjoyable part of the job is you will get regular customers coming to you each time they shop. The staff who you work with will help another member of the staff who need help. All-in-all a good company to work for.
